2000 Women's Summer Season

 

8/16 - United Women Fall to Recless in Division 2 Championship, 2-1.

  LEXINGTON - The United Women's summer soccer team fell to top-seeded Recless, 2-1, in the Eastern Massachusetts Women's Soccer League Championship.

United drew first blood roughly ten minutes into the game as Joanna Tzannos gathered a loose ball in front of the Recless goal and fired a rocket past the goalkeeper for a 1-0 lead.  Recless tied the game just before halftime.  With just under nine minutes remaining in the game, Recless scored to take a 2-1 advantage.  

United attacked with a fury and with two minutes remaining Karen Cotter caught up to a ball behind the defense as the Recless goalkeeper was challenging.  Her shot from about 30 yards out was not hard enough, as a charging defender stopped it on the goal line.  Nikki Downs turned in a brilliant performance in goal for United.

United (9-5-2) started the summer season off slow, compiling a 2-3-0 record through the season's first 5 games.  However, the team rallied to go unbeaten in 7 of their final 8 games to secure a playoff position and capture third place in their division.

United competed in Division 2 of the Eastern Massachusetts Women's Soccer League.
